The verdict
A single color A19 bulb. Its white light is good (CRI 90, Rf 92), it dims down to 46 lm, its warmest white is 2686K, and flicker risk is high.
The flicker is the problem. At full brightness it measured 26% percent flicker. I would keep it out of reading lamps, desks and rooms where anyone is flicker sensitive.
